Mia's POV

The autumn breeze carried the scent of fallen leaves as I watched Gasoline bound across the park lawn, his golden-brown fur catching the morning light. He raced ahead, then circled back, as if making sure I was still following. For a former stray, he'd adapted remarkably fast and well to domestic life - though his enthusiasm sometimes overwhelmed even me.

"Gasoline!" I called as he charged toward a group of dogs near the walking path. "Be nice!"

"Interesting name choice," Nate commented beside me, expertly handling the leashes of his three dogs. "Most people go with Max or Buddy."

"He named himself, really." I smiled as Gasoline approached Nate's dogs with typical exuberance. "Your three seem very well-behaved."

"Meet the gang," Nate gestured to each dog in turn. "Einstein here is the mastermind," he pointed to a dignified grey Weimaraner. "Schrödinger," a black Scottish Terrier, "is simultaneously well-behaved and chaos incarnate. And this little lady," he scratched behind

    Mia's POV"Alexander." My voice is sharper now. "What have I told you about watching grown-up shows?""I don't watch grown-up shows!""Then where did you learn about ex-boyfriends and current boyfriends and awkward social dynamics?""I don't know! From existing! From having ears! From Mrs. Rodriguez and also from the elevator—""Alexander!" I'm trying not to smile but also genuinely alarmed. "You're five. You shouldn't know these things.""Well I do know them! And I'm just trying to help you not be awkward!""Okay!" I stand up. "That's enought. And you..." I point at him. "Less eavesdropping. Less elevator gossip. Less... less learning about adult relationships from our seventy-year-old neighbor.""She's sixty-eight," he mumbles."Alexander.""Okay, okay. Sorry." But he doesn't look sorry. He looks pleased with himself for knowing things, for being observant, for understanding the world in ways that make me both proud and

    Mia's POVAlexander shoots up in bed like someone electrocuted him. "REALLY? A REAL HOUSE? That you BUILT?""Shh, inside voice. And yes.""A CASTLE!" Alexander shouts. "Is it a CASTLE? I want a castle!""Not a castle. A house. With bedrooms and bathrooms and—""And a SECRET ROOM!" His eyes are huge now, all traces of sleepiness gone. "Can there be a secret room? PLEASE? With a bookshelf door that swings open?""That's structurally complicated," Ethan says, but he's sitting up now too, interested despite himself. "The weight distribution of a bookshelf door would require significant reinforcement and—""I don't care about weight distribution! I want a SECRET ROOM!""But if we move..." Alexander's face falls suddenly, dramatically, like he's just remembered something terrible. "If we move, we'd have to say goodbye to everyone here.""Yes," I say gently. "That's one of the things to think about. You'd have to say goodbye to the kids you play with in the building. To Mrs. Rodriguez next d

    Mia's POVThe apartment is quiet when we get home.I unlock the door and Gas pushes past me first, her nails clicking on the hardwood in that urgent rhythm that means she's been holding it together all day and now she can finally relax. She heads straight for her water bowl and laps at it like she's been crossing a desert, water splashing onto the mat beneath."Shoes off," I remind the children.Alexander is already kicking his off before the words are fully out of my mouth. They go flying—one hits the wall with a soft thud, the other lands somewhere near the couch—and he looks at me with that expression that's half innocent, half testing to see if I'll call him on it."Alexander.""What?""Pick them up. Put them in the basket."He sighs with his entire body, head dropping back, arms going limp at his sides, that dramatic five-year-old sigh that suggests I've asked him to climb Mount Everest in his socks, but he does it, shuffling over to retrieve both shoes and dropping them in the ba

    Mia's POVHugo and I walk a few steps away. Far enough the children can't hear. Close enough I can still see them."I apologize," he begins. "The story was inappropriate.""You were trying to help.""I was trying to practice medicine without consent. There's a difference." He pauses. "But as a physician, I have an obligation to provide accurate medical information. Even when it's uncomfortable.""Hugo—""Please. Let me say this." He looks at me directly. His eyes serious. "Bone marrow donation from a child is not without risk. Anesthesia. Pain. Small chance of complications. I won't minimize that.""I know.""But." He holds up a hand. "The risks are manageable. The pain is temporary. The marrow regenerates completely. Within weeks, the child is physically exactly as they were.""Physically," I repeat. Catching it."Yes. Physically they recover.

"—any arrangement where you think you can keep feelings out of it.""I'm not—""I'm WARNING you." Scarlett leans forward. Nearly tips out of her chair. Morton's hand shoots out. Steadies her. "You think you're so smart. So sophisticated. You think you can have the benefits without the—the—" She snaps her fingers. Trying to find the word. "—the heart stuff.""Heart stuff?" Thomas repeats."YES. The heart stuff. The feeling stuff. The part where you wake up next to someone and they're—they're—" Her voice gets wobbly. "—they're supposed to mean nothing but they mean EVERYTHING and you can't take it back and you're RUINED.""Scarlett," Morton says. Very gently. "Maybe we should get you home.""I don't want to go home. I want to stay here and warn people about contract marriages because they're STUPID and I was STUPID and—"
